    This is called a trailer

    If it is very short and shows little to no film footage (or footage shot just for the trailer itself) then it is often called a teaser trailer

    I hope this helps.

    Great, I was looking for this word, thanks a lot.
    Does this term (trailer or teaser trailer) use for television programs?
    Do you know any special web site for teaser trailer?

    Quicktime.com has quite a few, as do many movie preview sites (preview is another term used outside the US for trailers)

  6. For television, they are usually called "TV Spots" or "Promos."

    They have a very similiar style of editing that trailers have, but are not usually referred to as a trailer.

    During special occations, full length trailers will run on regular TV. In those cases, they are indeed referred to as "Trailers."

  7. ALso called "the making of xxxx" wherein a full half hour TV show is put together which includes some footage, but also a load of pusilanimus bilge is spouted about how great the movie is, what fun they had on working on the movie (for the actors who cant bring themselves to lie outright about the utter garbage they have just done). ref Steven seagal, Eddy murphy comedy. Trailers are also movable vehicles where some of these overpaid ego-blimps go to snort cocaine and cry into their online bank accounts.
